It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him), he says: We were sitting with the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), when a cloud passed by. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) asked: Do you know what this is? We said: Allah and His Messenger know best. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: This is a cloud, and it gives water to the earth. Allah sends it towards those of His servants who neither thank Him nor call upon Him. Well, do you know what is above it? We said: Allah and His Messenger know best. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: The sky, it is a wave that has been stopped and is a protected roof. Do you know how much distance there is between it and you? We said: Allah and His Messenger know best. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: A distance of five hundred years. Do you know what is above that? We said: Allah and His Messenger know best. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Another sky. Do you know how much distance there is between this sky and that sky? We said: Allah and His Messenger know best. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: A distance of five hundred years. In this way, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) counted seven skies. Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Do you know what is above the seventh sky? We said: Allah and His Messenger know best. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: The Throne (‘Arsh). Do you know how much distance there is between the Throne and the seventh sky? We said: Allah and His Messenger know best. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: A distance of five hundred years. Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Well, do you know what is beneath you? We said: Allah and His Messenger know best. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: The earth. Well, do you know what is beneath that? We said: Allah and His Messenger know best. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Another earth. Do you know what is beneath that? We said: Allah and His Messenger know best. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Another earth. Do you know how much distance there is from this earth to that earth? We said: Allah and His Messenger know best. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: A distance of five hundred years. In this way, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) counted seven earths. Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: And by Allah, if you were to hang a rope down to the seventh earth, it would reach the seventh earth. Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) recited this verse:“He is the First and the Last, the Manifest and the Hidden, and He is, of all things, Knowing.”(Surah Al-Hadid: 3)
